This vast sum is so great we can
not conceive of it. 1t is equal to
more than ten times the entire

1t is for the people to determine
whether the laws shall be moulded
in the public interest or in the per-
sonal interest OF the individuals who
are concerned in the giant corpora
tons. 1t is for the people to deter
mine whether such corporations are
to control legislation or whether leg
islation shall be shaped by men who
represent the great body of society.
1t occurs to every one, who is not a
fool, that it is the part oftrue states
manship to check the growth OF giant
corporations and to encourage indi-
vidual enterprise. Itoccursto every
man of sense, that if individual en-
terprise be paralized the body of the
people will inevitably become very
poor indeed. 1t occurs to every one,
capable of reflection, that if wealth
was not thus concentrated in few
hands, the farmers of county like
jefferson would not be so distressed
for the want of ready money. 1t oc-
ours to every one, who can think,
that men whose enormous wealth is
gained by legislation, will exhaust
ingenuity to prevent the people of a
county like jefferson from voting
intelligently and understandingly at
such an election as that now in front
of us.

man gave his personal attention to
the details, and the outlay is said
to represent a capital OF 100000,
and it is further stated that the
President will be at an expense of
$4,000 for the trip. The party con-
sisted Of the President and Mrs. Cleve-
land, Private Secretary Lamont, two
or three personal friends Of Mr. Cleve-
land, and three representatives of the
press A great crowd assembled at
the Baltimore and Potomac depot to
see the distinguished travellers depart,
Secretaries Bayard, Endicott and
Whitney being of the number, The
doral favors to Mrs Cleveland we're
layish and rarely beautiful.
An important act of the President
before leaving was the appointment Of
Secretary Bayard and Messrs VIM.
l.. Putnam, of Maine and James B.
Angel, OF Michigan, to act as Com
missioners in the adjustment Of the
question Of the fisheries troubles with
our northern neighhors. All OF these
gentlemen have had sufficient diplo-
matte training in positions Of public
trust to warrant the belief, that if sat.
isfactory settlement of the internation-
al controversy is possible, the coun-
try may confidently expect such a re-
suit at their hands-a contamination
devOutly to be wished.
1t is calculated at the Treasury that
the Government has saved in interest
by the prepayment of bonds under the
circular of last month the handsome
sum of SO, 2O0000-not to mention the
probably immense financial losses it
prevented individuals from suffering.
The Naval Board has concluded to
construct at Norfolk the 5000 ton bat
tleship, authorized by the act Of Con-
gress, at cost Of ~, $4,000, which is
$4,000 less than the appropriation
provides. 1t will take about eighteen
months to finish the work on this
great monster Of the deep.

Local Option.

Since the defeat of the prohibition
amendment there has been, in this
part of the State, almost a universal
demand for a local option law. The
next legislature ought to be elected
on that issue. East Tennessee is al
most solid for prohibition, and our
people are not going to give up: with
out struggle, to the other divisions
of the State and let them say whether
or not we shall have whisky sold in
our midst.
But it is impraticable and impolitic
to talk about an extra session of tie
Legislature to pass such a law. The
present legislature was not elected on
that issue and we have no assurance
they would pass such law even if
called together. Besides any legisla-
ture for the past twenty years might
have passed local option law, and hay
ing refused to do so and the question
not having been agitated before the
people, it would seem to be folly to
call an extra session at this time for
such a purpose.
We are heartily in favor of II local
option law or any other law that will
prohibit or restrict the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors, but we think it would
be unwise to call an extra session of
the legislature for such a purpose.

HOMICIDE AT GREENVEEEE.
Hon. w. u. Il. NiIburn Shoots
and Kills William Ward,

Special to the Journal.
GREENvILLE, Tenn, Oct, 2.-W. Z.
F. Milburn shot and killed William
Ward in front OF the court house to.
day. The difficulty arose out of state
ments made during the canvass in re-
lation to Wards mother, and threats
on the part OF Ward against Milburn.
Milburn gave himself up and is in GUS
tody.
The difficulty which led to the kill
ing of Ward grew out of a personal
allusion made by Milburn, to Wards
mother who is the proprietor of a sa-
loon, in recent speech, and which
was in part reported in & correspond
ence in the Journal. Ward had made
frequent threats against Milburn to
one or more persons. 1t is said he
threatened to kill him, and on two
occasions had attacked him on the
street. This morning he called at a
store and enquired for a whip, stating
that he wanted to whip Milburn.
This was reported to Milburn. About
three o'clock Milburn was standing
in front OF the courthouse talking
with John Remine when Ward an
preached with a stick or cane in his
hand, and he is addressed Milburn.
saying; 81 will settle that with YOU"
or used some such expression, at the
same time raising the club or cane,
his left hand thrown behind him.
Milburn stepped back a step or two
and drawing a pistol, shot him in the
right breast, the ball ranging to the
left. He only lived about ten min
utes, The matter causes much feel
ing and universal regret here. Mil
burn will probably have a trial before
the magistrate on tomorrow.
MI Mllburn Is a prominent young
lawyer Of Greeneville and represented

He is a gradua4e of the Michigan Uni
versity, He is a gentleman of good

The lessons taught inexperienced
militia men by participation in a
sham battle conducted in demon
stration of strict military movements
are incalculable when the executive
head of the undertaking is man
well versed in the tactics of actual
war. Among the youngest and
bravest of General Lees cavalry adj

bars for bold and and fearless eX-
PLOTS. Approaching the vast ben.
efts of a battle, when such man
could be induced to direct it, the
managers of the Exposition at once
issued invitations to all the crack

the field. And the response has

The train of three cars which is
carrying the Presidential party on
their trip to the South and West
was made up in Wilmington, Pa,
at the Pullman shops. Over fifty
skilled mechanics have been at
work on the cars for the past ten
days, and they are the handsomest
and most complete in the world,
The train is made up of the Alta
rata, a vestibule car of the Penn
sylvania Company, the Velasco, a
sleeper, and Mr., Pullman's private
car. An engine and dynamo in
the forward car will furnish electric
lights and bells for the train. The
work is the most elaborate ever
done by the Pullman Company, and
the train represents $500, 900.
